Made in Germany by Vitra

Flower is a bench with a slender middle and a petal-shaped seat design reminiscent of a clover or a three-leaf blossom. It is a comfortable seating solution for up to three people who want to communicate with one another or who are seated facing away from each other, relaxing alone. Design work on Flower began in 2001 and was first employed during the 7th Istanbul Biennial. Since then, the bench has been produced repeatedly in small numbers for individual projects, making it clear to SANAA and Vitra that Flower was ready to be developed for larger scale production.

Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa founded the SANAA architecture office in 1995. Awarded the Hyatt Foundation‘s Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2010, the Japanese architects are currently designing a production hall on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein.

Flower was primarily conceived for use in public spaces. This is why the bench is covered in high-quality, durable artificial leather, which is available in seven colors.

Vitra is a Swiss company dedicated to improving the quality of homes, offices and public spaces through the power of design. Following in the tradition of Charles & Ray Eames, who have influenced Vitra’s approach to sustainability in many ways, product longevity is central to the company’s contribution to sustainable development; short-lived styling is avoided at all costs. This can be seen most clearly in the classical pieces of furniture that have been used for decades, had several owners and have then even ended up as a part of a collection.
